South East Charters

Take in the long view. Timeless design, sustainably built. Maintaining the land and its heritage as a working farm. Respectful of nature, history, culture and the local community. Relax your eyes and relax your spirit. Gaze across the landscape where rows of cherry trees form lines down toward the water’s edge and Iron Creek Bay lies tranquil before us. The long view understands that good things take time. Quality, craftsmanship and the quiet pursuit of detail. It means slowing down and noticing the importance of simple things – a hidden nest of duck eggs, the scent of cherry blossoms on the breeze. When we take the long view we open all our senses to the world around us. We allow ourselves to be surprised. Long table lunches, lazy picnics in the orchard. Lingering walks through hidden gardens and sheltered spaces. Looking up to the vast sky at night. Listening to the stories of our surroundings. We are a family business built on a family farm. We cherish both our Chinese heritage and the local culture of our Tasmanian community. The long view reminds us to care about people and the special occasions in their lives. To welcome them from near and far and take time over the moments that bring them together – for adventure, for work, for community, for family and for love.

Immerse yourself in the ultimate nature experience as you unwind at ‘The Croft’ at Arden Retreat. Arden Retreat is on the outskirts of the historic village of Richmond in the Coal River Valley wine region, 30 minutes from Hobart in southern Tasmania. It is part family farm and part a preservation of Tasmanian bush. The Peppermint and Blue Gums provide habitat to many native animals, including a wedge-tailed eagle nest which is home to two striking "wedgies". The Croft at Arden is an exquisitely appointed two-bedroom cabin set amongst the gumtrees. The design, craftsmanship and interiors draw the built and natural environments together. The Blue Gum cladding is felled from the property. The glass frontage draws in natural light and warmth in abundance and the generous deck leads to a woodfired hot tub & fire pit. The architecturally designed space adjusts perfectly to accommodate singles, couples or a family. The primary pavilion consists of a separate main bedroom with king bed, open plan living, kitchen and bathroom. The second bedroom is linked via the atrium-style entrance. The Croft provides complete seclusion yet is located only 5 minutes from the cafes, shops and historic sites of Richmond.
